Biscuit is a one-year-old, 16-pound feline who hopes he can convince you that he is the perfect companion for your family. He is a sweet and handsome guy and only $10 to adopt through June 30 at the Animal Defense League.

The Animal Defense League (ADL) wraps up June’s Adopt a Shelter Cat month this weekend with special adoption rates through Sunday.

All felines over four months of age are just $10 to adopt and under four months old are $20 to adopt. Not to be left out, shelter dogs over four months old are just $40 to adopt. All ADL pets are spayed or neutered, micro chipped, and receive up-to-date on vaccinations.

ADL also will host a low-cost, no appointment vaccination clinic on Saturday, June 29 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. The clinic is offering $15 pet microchips, $5 nail trimmings and reduced-cost vaccinations for pets. Don’t miss this event since the next ADL vaccination clinic will not take place until October 2013. The event will be held at the ADL Hospital located at 11215 Iota Drive, San Antonio 78217, one block north of the Wurzbach Parkway/Nacogdoches Road interchange (and just around the corner from the shelter).

ADL is open seven days a week from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm and is located at 11300 Nacogdoches Rd., San Antonio, TX 78217. Visit www.adltexas.org or call 210-655-1481 for more information.
